| This is due to iris proximity and consequential mechanical action against the zonular fibres in these individuals. |
|
| When these zonular fibres are loosened, the elastic tension in the capsule comes into play and remolds the lens, making it smaller and thicker. |
|
| Thus, the physiological problem is to find what loosens the zonular fibres during accommodation. |
|
| It lies behind the pupil and is suspended from the ciliary body by a series of fine ligaments called zonular fibres. |
|
| This lens does not have any clips and is supported by the zonular fibres of the patient's own lens. |
|
| Examination of the eyes revealed microcornea and congenital zonular cataract of the left eye. |
|
| Both of these actions will slacken the zonular fibres and therefore allow the change in shape. |
|
| They are classified as noncystic, cystic, or zonular traction. |
